AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoElections Halted: Nicaragua’s President Daniel Ortega announced there will be “no more elections” in the country, saying the move blocks any opposition path to power and further entrenches the rule he shares with Rosario Murillo; he framed the opposition as backed by the U.S. and vowed new laws to “build a wall” against “coup plotters” and “traitors.” Power Consolidation: The declaration follows constitutional changes that extended presidential terms and strengthened the ruling couple’s control over state institutions, with Nicaragua’s last 2021 vote widely disputed after detentions and repression. International Backlash: The U.S. has labeled Ortega’s government a dictatorship and imposed sanctions on thousands of officials and relatives, while UN and regional bodies have criticized the erosion of democratic checks. Human Rights Pressure: Separate reporting highlights continued concern over political persecution, including the forced disappearance of Bishop Abelardo Mata, denounced as a crime against humanity.
